About Our Fleece
At Wild Rose Sheep Farm, we take great pride in breeding exceptional Wensleydale, Teeswater, and Valais Blacknose sheep, ensuring that every fleece embodies the highest standards of quality. Our customers consistently praise our fleeces for their cleanliness, luster, and overall excellence—a direct result of the care and attention we devote to our flock.
In just twelve months, our sheep’s locks can grow up to twelve inches in length. We typically shear our Wensleydales and Teeswaters every 10 to 14 months, while the Valais are shorn every 6 months. Valais fleece tends to have a toothier texture, while Wensleydale and Teeswater fleece are known for their high lanolin content and beautiful lock structure which lends them to have a greasier feel. Each raw fleece is meticulously skirted to remove dirt, hay, and straw, making them highly prized by hand-spinners and crafters alike.
